    - Word 2003 text changed to boxes RE: Word 2003 v. 11.6113.5703 (part of Office 2003 upgrade over Works 2002 on Win XP Pro computer) Last night, I was working on a document in Word 2003, when suddenly, the text turned to little ASCII-style boxes. The font was listed as Courier, instead of the Times New Roman I had been using. An error message appeared saying something about the .DOT file being damaged. I tried selecting the entire document (Ctrl-A) and changing the font back to Times, but that didn't restore the text. I had been working on this .DOC all day, and had been saving my file often. AutoSave was on. In addition, my backup routine automatically saves a copy of my work to an external hard drive every five minutes if the file has changed. When I tried to look for my document in Explorer, the file had disappeared. The only files related to it were a whole series of WRL backups. The most recent ones were corrupted, too, but going back, I found one with the work from about three hours earlier. I saved it with a new name in the appropriate My Documents folder, then shut down and rebooted. Of course, I am now stuck with having to reconstruct that last few hours of work that went into the document. I am not aware that I did anything to cause this. The computer had been on all day, and several programs were running in addition to Word 2003, including Groove, Windows Messenger, Outlook Express, Opera (browser) and possibly some others. I usually work with these programs open, and have never had a problem like this. My virus definitions are up to date, and my computer checks out as virus-free. Today, I opened the file I saved last night, and it seems fine. Word seems to be working properly. There is still no sign of the original file I was working on yesterday. It just vanished. I'm nervous about this happening again. I didn't find anything in the Microsoft Knowledge Base that refers to this. Can anyone figure out what went wrong and what precautions I can take to prevent a recurrence? Orrie Tag: word - office 2000 Tag: 77599

    - Visual Basic Error When I first open Microsoft Word, I receive the following error: "Compile error in hidden mode: ThisDocument". I have gone into macros, Visual Basic Editor, and Visual Scripting to try to fix this, but nothing works. When this popup window appears, it offers OK, and HELP buttons. The help button declares that I need to unprotect the object in order to get it to open. I'd appreciate any help you could offer. Thanks! Tag: word - office 2000 Tag: 77589

    - Word 2000 global template We have had Word 2000 for several years. Suddenly, everytime I exit it asks "Changes have been made that affect the global template, Normal.dot. Do you want to save those changes?" It asks this even if I open Word and close it with no keystrokes in the document. The Auto update document styles is not marked. We do have a server but the Office products are loaded on each individual C: drive. Any ideas? Tag: word - office 2000 Tag: 77587

    - Uninstall Works Suite I bought Works Suite 2001 to install on my laptop which then had to go back to Time to be fixed for another fault. As the Works Suite software was no longer being used by me I thought I could do my Dad a favour and install it on his PC, as he has had a machine only installed with WordPad for years. Now my intended helpfulness has completely backfired because I didn't realise that the disks would only work on the machine onto which they were originally installed. His computer is now virtually useless as anytime he tries to do anything (even use WordPad) he gets a pop-up demanding he enter the 15 digit Works Suite code that no longer seems to work with the programs. I've tried using System Restore to an earlier date and also Uninstalling Programs in the Control Panel but nothing seems to work. The software I installed was Microsoft WorksSuite 2001 (Microsoft Works Suite 2001 Setup, Microsoft Works 6.0 and Microsoft Word 2000SR-1). PLEASE can someone help so that he can get his PC back to how it was and be able to use WordPad to create documents again? Any help would be most gratefully received as I feel a complete klutz and was only trying to help! Tag: word - office 2000 Tag: 77582

    - Microsoft Office:mac This might not be the right site to post this, but the whole customer sevice site is confusing. My problem: I purchased Microsoft Office for my Mac OSx a year or so ago. A recent problem with my Mac required me to send it into Apple to get it fixed. As a precaution, I copied some Word and Excel files to my wife's computer, and sent my Mac in for service. They fixed it, but had to replace the hard drive. When I got it back, I installed the Office:mac CD applications (Word, Excel, etc.) and copied my files back to my computer. When I tried to open them, however, I am asked to provide a "CD Key" from the back of the booklet I got with my software. I can't find the booklet -- I probably threw it away. Is there a solution to this? Tag: word - office 2000 Tag: 77558

In the past, when I needed to read doc files, I used to be able to read all fine but apparently WordView97 can't read newer versions. Is their a newer version of WordView? If not, is there some kind of convertor my sister can use on a doc before I get it from her that will make it compatible with Word97? OR is there another, simple option?

Hi David,

You may have a corrupt file that's used by Office. Try Repairing Office. you
can do this via Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. When you select
Microsoft Office, you should get a repair option. You may need the install
CDs for this to work.

Cheers
